LunaCafe Chinese Ten-Spice: Heavenly Harmony

Chinese Ten-Spice is a heavenly, evocative, and versatile Asian spice blend. But with this much flavor, a little goes a long way.

Note This spice blend, left whole, makes a wonderful and very spicy tea. I love the way Szechwan peppercorns numb the tongue without incinerating the palate. If you aren’t sure about how much heat you can handle, cut both Szechwan and black peppercorn quantities back by half on your first batch. And see what you think. I generally use 1 teaspoon of cracked (not powdered) spices to 1 cup of boiling water, and let the tea steep for a full 5 minutes.
